In this short video we share our takeaways from our interview with the team at Ocean Biomedical. 

We really enjoyed hearing this team share the passion that drives them to help bring new treatments to the public.  

Ocean Biomedical works with research institutions to help their treatments to market – a process that’s typically very long and challenging. 

Ocean provides a more attractive path to market – one where the university and principal investigator retain a stake. 

Dr. Jake Kurtis compared the process to finding nuggets of gold.
